Re: [AH] Serge questions...

I'll throw you a lifesaver...
Guessing here, you're trying to interface the Buchla with the Serge.
I haven't done this myself but there are probably just two issues:
grounding and triggers with the rising edge.
Are you sure the two synths have a common ground? If they don't the
triggers, cv, or audio won't make it back and forth.
The Serge needs a 'rising edge' trigger, meaning that it senses the
rising side of the pulse and that must be fast and around +5v or better.
A rectangular pulse should be fine. This is normally not an issue but I
don't know Buchla triggering well enough to know offhand.
Anybody else?
